Contra Costa Water District's (CCWD) Randall-Bold Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and Bollman WTP, on an annual basis, generates an estimated 8,000 tons and 3,500 tons of nonhazardous and hazardous solids, respectively. CCWD will pay the disposal fees directly to the disposal facility (Facility). CCWD contracts with hauling service providers to be responsible for hauling dried solids generated at the treatment plants to an approved Facility. CCWD is seeking a Facility that accepts dried solids generated during the drinking potable water treatment process (non-hazardous material). Solids are dried onsite at the treatment plants before hauling at approximately 45 to 50 percent water content. When a sufficient volume of adequately dried solids has accumulated at the Randall-Bold WTP or Bollman WTP sites, CCWD's hauling contractor will load and haul the solids to the Facility. CCWD will comply with California Code of Regulations Title 22 Limits for Hazardous Waste and provide the Facility with the Sampling Standard Operating Procedure for CCWD's Water Treatment Plant Solids Disposal. Before hauling is permitted to the Facility, CCWD will provide the Facility with monitoring results in compliance with Title 22, Section 66261.24(A) Division 4.5, Chapter 11 of the California Code of Regulations (CRR) pertaining to limits for hazardous waste.
